Sensory, Inc.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sensory, Inc. is a Santa Clara based company which develops and makes speech technologies on both hardware (Integrated Circuit - IC or "chip") and software platforms for consumer products, offering IC and software-only solutions for speech recognition, speech synthesis, speaker verification, music synthesis.[1][2]

History

Sensory, Inc. was founded in 1994, originally as Sensory Circuits, by Forrest Mozer, Mike Mozer and Todd Mozer. The three had also co-founded ESS Technology years earlier. In 1999 Sensory acquired Fluent Speech Technologies, which formed and started by a group of professors out of the Oregon Graduate Institute (formerly OGI now OHSU). Fluent Speech Technologies developed high performance embedded speech engines, the technology from this acquisition is now the core technology used throughout Sensory’s chip and software line.[3]
